Olympian Lord most high, who far and wide + 

Reignest, grudge not fulfilment of my prayer + 

Through all time! May this city’s folk abide + 

In safety! May the breeze of fortune fair + 

That breathes on Xenophon, blow constant ever! + 

The due procession singing home his crown + 

Accept thou, as from Pisa’s plain and river + 

He leads it onward to his native town. + 

For victor in the Contests Five is he + 

And in the foot-race: so hath he attained + 

Such glory multiplied of victory + 

As mortal never yet before hath gained. + 
